Welcome to Mockumonthary! For the whole month of May, MSPC is side-stepping The Office to break down other iconic mockumentary format TV shows. Up first, we are covering Parks and Recreation, the beloved cousin of The Office. Given it's shared DNA through showrunners Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, it's simply the natural place for us to start. We discuss first impressions we had upon its debut in 2009, how it's similar yet completely different from The Office, Michael Scott vs. Leslie Knope, favorite characters and moments, and so much more!

Join us for the premier episode of our new show CAPTIVE AUDIENCE - where we force feed the movies we love to the people we love. Captive Audience is a reaction video in podcast form. The unique format allows us to keep up with what's new, catch up on classics--new and old--we may have missed, and share films that are near and dear to our hearts. Movies can feel very solitary, especially if we're just watching Netflix at home. But at times the best parts of movies comes from sharing them with other people. It can be laughing in the theater with the rest of the audience, debating with friends, or simply asking, 'So, what did you think?' once the credits roll. This podcast gets at why we watch movies, and as cliche as it may sound, how shared experiences bring people together. To kick things off, we are making Edwin finally watch the decadent and divisive Christmas rom-com LOVE ACTUALLY. Captive Audience has its own separate feed from MSPC, so please subscribe, rate, and review the show wherever you get your podcasts to help us grow! Learn more about your ad choices.

Jim: So this year, for the first time ever, I got Pam in Secret Santa. And I got her this teapot, which I know she really wants, so she can make tea at her desk….And this is the card, because Christmas is the time to tell people how you feel.  For many years Office fans wondered about what Jim wrote in his letter to Pam, and a couple years ago Jenna Fischer revealed that it was a personal note from John Krasinski. In that spirit we’re drafting all the different moments, scenes, and instances we wish we could’ve seen on The Office, saying "Screw the teapot letter, I want to see…” We cover topics like basketball, Michael’s past, the mystery of Creed, and a whole lot more!

"The people that you work with, are just… when you get down to it… your very best friends. They say, on your deathbed, you never wish you spent more time at the office. But I will. Gotta be a lot better than a deathbed." Season 7 contains a number of important moments in The Office, including Michael’s exit to Colorado, Dwight’s taste of being manager, and Andy rollerskating to Dave Matthews Band.

"I’ve, uh, I’ve been at Dunder Mifflin for 12 years, the last four as Regional Manager. If you want to come through here… See we have the entire floor. So this is my kingdom, as far as the eye can see. This is our receptionist, Pam. Pam! Pam-Pam! Pam Beesly. Pam has been with us for… forever." Reception is the gateway to the Dunder Mifflin world, and the receptionist is the first person to welcome people in.

Join us for a deep into this episode from Season 4 with a special focus on the new scenes in the superfan cut. We go through Michael’s clever financial maneuvering, Jim and Pam’s first night away at Embassy Beets, Mose’s table-making demonstration, Kelly needing to access her uncrazy side, Andy moonwalking past accounting, no one going to see Kevin’s band, and much, much more.

Our podcast has been requested by Chief Financial Officer, David Wallace. He says he wants to talk about big picture stuff. That’s right, this week’s episode is about David Wallace, as was selected by our Scott’s Tots Patreon subscribers! We talk about his different appearances in the show, the role he plays as a corporate figure, and how a number of his appearances are over the phone.

We discuss all the new additions from the superfan cut, with a special focus on the debut of a new cold open that shows some of Michael’s inventions. But we also make sure to include Jim’s round of golf featuring Kevin and Andy, Pam driving 20 miles round trip for a single sheet of paper, and Dwight and Angela working quietly until 5pm.

"When I was in training, many years ago… not so long ago… I worked side-by-side with a fellow named Todd Packer, and together we rocked the office.

"Guess where I am going. I will give you a hint. It is a booze-fueled sex romp, where anything goes. You are correct, sir! I am headed to Philadelphia for the Annual Northeastern Mid-Market Office Supply Convention. And Jim Halpert is going to be coming, which will be fun. Poor little guy. He’s been stuck working under Josh, the poor man’s Michael Scott, as he is known around my condo." We take the train with Dwight and Michael for our episode this week about The Convention from season 3! We talk about the different storylines in this episode, where it fits in the Jim and Pam relationship, and Creed eating Andrea’s cereal.

“I grew up poor. I had little formal education. No real skills. I don’t work especially hard, and most of my ideas are either unoriginal or total crap. And yet, I walked right into a job for which I was ill-prepared, ill-suited, and somebody else already had, and I got it. If you ask me, that’s the American dream right there. Anything can happen to anyone. It’s just random.” This week’s episode is dedicated to Nellie Bertram, head of special projects, friend to Jo Bennett, and the record holder for the three slowest laps ever recorded in a formula one race car. We go through her arc on the show, starting with her interview in season 7's 'Search Committee' all the way through the finale, looking at how and why she can be a divisive character among fans. And of course we talk about all the tacos, destructive shopping sprees (she bought 13 pianos), and prank radio shows that make up her time on the show. Then we head to the Conference Room where we listen to some voicemails before closing with a round of trivia.

Pam: "So we just… we wanna help you plan the proposal so that it’s safe and responsible and realistic and doable." Michael: "I had a great idea until you ruined it." Oscar: "Wanna know how to do it? Here’s how you do it. Take her out to dinner. Go down on one knee. If you are in costume, you did something wrong. If at any point you find yourself tying a ring to a dogs collar, stop, and look at yourself." With Alex's wedding just around the corner, we’re looking at proposals in The Office. We talk about all of them, from Jim and Pam meeting halfway at a gas station, to Michael’s disastrous proposal at Diwali, to Dwight yelling at Angela through a megaphone.

"Well, I was in the Seminary for a year and dropped out ’cause I wanted to have sex with this girl, Cathy. Followed her to Scranton. Took the first job I could find in H.R. Later she divorced me. So no, I wouldn’t say I have a passion for H.R." We’ll let you in on a little secret: we’ve been very much looking forward to this episode. Very, very much. We have been steeped in anticipation. Toby has been cruisin’ for a bruisin’ for twelve years, and we are now his cruise director, and our name is Captain Bruisin’. This week is all about everything that is wrong with the paper industry, Toby Flenderson! We go through his role and character arc, highlighting all of the trips to Costa Rica, Chad Flendermen novels, and caprese salads that make up his time on the show. Then in the Conference Room we discuss the new ‘Office Experience’ in Chicago as well as some Office Halloween ideas before wrapping up with a signature round of trivia.  We tried. We tried to talk to Toby and be his friend, but that is like trying to be friends with an evil snail.  Get started right now with a seventy-five dollar sponsored job credit to upgrade your job post at Indeed.com/scott Go to getquip.com/scott right now and get your first refill for free.

Michael: “Here’s my wish. I want you to meet a great guy, and I want you to be happy.” Holly: “Thank you.” Michael: “My wish has come true, incidentally, because you’ve met me, and you are happy.” Darryl: “Clever, Mike.”  With Edwin’s recent move, we dedicate this week’s episode to Employee Transfer from season 5!

Jim: Ah, hey. Pam: Oh my God. Jim: Hi. Pam: Hi. Jim: Sorry, I forgot Kevin’s extension. It’s a fantasy football thing. This week we dedicate the entire episodes to a listener-submitted draft concept where we each build our own fantasy office. We must fill 11(!) roles with different characters from the show, but the inspiration and purpose of that office staff is up to each host. They say no man is an island. False!

“Hey, you want to see a really messed up show? Follow us around, come to our office!" With just Alex and Edwin holding it down this week, we decided to focus on two of the most minor characters on the show, Gino and Leo from Vance Refrigeration. We go through all of their brief yet memorable moments in the show from just a handful of episodes. And of course we discuss all of the caprese salad drug deals, deleted scenes moments, and teddy bear deliveries that make up their time on the show. Then we take a round of voicemail questions from listeners, covering things like Office-themed classroom ideas, alternate jobs for Dunder Mifflin staffers, moments or episodes we’d want to be a part of, and one of Alex’s best all-time drops.  If you’re ready to save money on your Doordash orders, DoorDash is offering a FREE MONTH for DashPass right now!

“I would love to live in New York someday. It’s a big dream of mine. Work for corporate, with Jan. It’d be awesome. Go to Broadway shows, eat hot dogs. Scranton is great, but New York, is like Scranton on acid, no on speed, no on steroids.” Michael in New York? Oh, he owns that city. Fuggedaboutit! With Edwin visiting there, this week’s episode is dedicated to Michael Scott in the city so nice they named it twice (Manhattan is the other name). We talk about what New York means to Michael and the show, going through all of the limousine rides, fake Tina Feys, and MISSterious suits that make up those moments.

"You mean you flooded my building with dangerous electromagnetic radiation as a prank?" This week, during another late night recording, we set aside the carpeted comfort of Dunder Mifflin Scranton and hop on board Season 9's Work Bus. We discuss the intricacies of this unique setting for Office shenanigans, from Jim's quest for pies, to the pettiness between Andy and Nellie, and eventually to the barren trouser hives of Dwight Schrute.  Then in the conference room we take do our own roll call chant (shabooyah, shabooyah roll call!) before wrapping up with another listener provided trivia.  Our listeners can save 20% on your SimpliSafe security system AND get your first month free when you sign up for Interactive Monitoring service.

"It’s true. I’m having a party. I’ve got three cases of imported beer, a karaoke machine, and I didn’t invite Michael. So three ingredients for a great party." If you have a lot of sensitive emails, they should be deleted immediately, because this week we’re talking about Email Surveillance! Join us for a late-in-the-evening recording where we take a deep into this episode from season 2, in part to highlight the way the documentary crew interacts with the staff and how Angela and Dwight first come together. And of course we talk about all of the improv games, party e-vitations, and karaoke duets that make up this episode. Then we head to the Conference Room where we discuss a unique way to think about female characters in The Office and other sitcoms before closing with some additional suggestions for FMK (Friend, Marry, Kill).

“You can’t fire me, I don’t work in this van!” We expand one of our favorite mailbag questions to a full-length episode, dedicating this week’s episode to Office scenes in the car. We talk about how those scenes set up unique conversations between characters and move the plot forward, how they compare to talking heads, and how the camera angles and positions influence the comedic moments. And of course we eventually get to listing some of our favorite Office-car moments, including trips to the lake, intense breakups while Darryl is driving, and Dwight licking his lips. We then move to an Oridinary Things segment where we discuss car/road trip moments from our own lives, hit the Conference Room for a game of ‘Friend/Marry/Kill’ suggested by a listener, and wrap with trivia.

"Who am I? Am I Michael Scott? I don’t know… I might just be a basketball machine. What’s Dunder Mifflin? I’ve never heard of it. Filing? Paperwork? Who cares? Possible downsizing? Um… well, that’s probably gonna happen, actually." The hand strikes and gives a flower—this episode is all about ‘Basketball’! With our friend and co-host Sean traveling, Alex and Edwin take a look at an all-time classic from season 1 that pits the office staff against the warehouse workers to see who’s going to work on Saturday. We talk about the ideal starting 5 for the office staff, how the warehouse team should utilize Lonny in the low post, and how characters like Gabe and Andy would fare in a similar game. After Michael stops the game because of a foul, we head to the Conference Room where we discuss a theory about Jan and take listener voicemails about mistakes we made, character impressions, and more!

“How do I do it? Raise my daughter, work as director of office purchasing for this hospital and release an album of Doris Day covers on my own label? If I knew I’d tell you" Love to start my day with a hearty bowl of Jan. We dedicate this week’s episode to Jan! She’s the corporate VP, Michael’s lover, Astrid’s mother, and the famed actress behind Jasmine Windsong. We go through her arc and character, discussing all the trips to Jamaica, baby shower renditions of ’Son of a Preacher Man’, and incredibly awkward dinner parties that make up her time on the show. After an extended conversation about Jan, we wrap up the show with a round of trivia all about ‘Money’ from Season 4.  Right now, the title of our podcast is, “Something Weird is Going On.” Colon, “What Did Jan Say?

This week we play a game of Belles, Bourbon & Bullets, dedicating this episode to Season 6’s ‘Murder’, Sean’s all-time favorite episode. We talk about what makes this episode unique within the show, while also going through all of the Tube Cities, evidence based on puns, and Voodoo Mama Jujus that make it so distinct. Then in the Conference Room we answer a great listener question about which Office character we’d like to have as a guest on our podcast, followed by an Ordinary Things segment about games we used as distractions during stressful times. And then of course we close with another round of trivia. There will be food. You leave, you do not get food. What kind of food? Sandwich platters, baby carrots.

We start with Sean's first impressions watching the show for the first time and pick up the discussion from there, talking about how Rebecca stands out as such an interesting character, the silent genius of Coach Beard, whether the show feels more British or American, and the unique persona of Trent Crimm (“Trent Crimm, The Independent”).

"Yeah, I shot a bunch of footage around the office, edited it together on my Mac. I was thinking of entering it into some festivals. Probably won’t. You know, not what this is about." What happens when you put Michael Scott's creativity, imagination, and delusion behind a camera? Find this week as we discuss Michael’s movies! We go through all of the films he creates and screens throughout the series, including productions from both Diversity Tomorrow and Great Scott.

Our conference room segment can be described as ‘roasted by memes’, as we talk about an Onion headline and another meme about podcast hosts that give us that ‘boom, roasted’ feeling.

And we also cover all of the rundowns, parking lot soccer games, and C-shaped bagels that make up this arc.

"What did we learn this week? Well, one, thanks to me, my team is much, much faster at coming to decisions than I thought they would be. Number two, never buy a fur coat with a credit card until you absolutely have the money to pay for it. And three, you should know that some people think it’s cool to throw buckets of fake blood on you as you are walking out of Burlington Coat Factory." This week’s episode is dedicated to ’The Surplus’ from Season 5! We talk about Michael’s struggle to please everyone while choosing between a new copier or new chairs, along with Dwight, Angela, and Andy touring Schrute Farms as a wedding venue.

No. I’m like Butch Cassidy, and Michael is like Mozart. You try and hurt Mozart; you’re going to get a bullet in your head courtesy of Butch Cassidy."

"Do I feel bad about betraying Jim? Not at all. That’s the game. Convince him we’re in an alliance, get some information, throw him to the wolves. That’s politics baby. Get what you can out of someone, then crush them. I think Jim might have learned a very valuable lesson." Do we want to form an alliance with you? Absolutely we do. With the season 1 Superfan episodes of The Office hitting Peacock this week, we decided to focus on ’The Alliance’. We go through the birthday card messages, warehouse box stakeouts, and accidentally generous walkathon donations that make up this episode. Then we compare it to the Superfan cut before talking more generally about what those new editions mean for the show. In the conference room we talk about funny moments from Zoom or Teams calls while working remotely, and then we wrap up with another round of trivia. "Look, we can breathe just fine. But if it makes you feel better we’ll poke holes in the box." Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!

Andy: Where are you going? Pam: Uh, not on a three month boat trip. With our producer Alex vacationing in the Bahamas, we’re dedicating this week’s episode to an arc we're calling 'Andy at Sea’. We go from him embarking on the voyage (and leaving Erin behind) to his early return (“You’re back…and you’re disgusting") and everything that happens in Scranton while he’s gone. We cover why Ed Helms had to miss those episodes, how these developments affect Andy’s overall character arc, and why Dunder Mifflin runs smoothly with him gone. Then we head to the conference room for a listener-submitted MSPC Bingo Card, and then we close with one quick trivia question. If you’re sad that Andy took his brother instead of you on the boat trip, just remember that Bob Marley song—no, woman, no cry. Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!

"It might seem crazy, but since there’s no one left in New York, Michael is Dunder Mifflin’s highest ranking employee. So, that’s where we are." 'The Banker’ stands out as the only clip show The Office, and on this week’s episode we talk about all the HR liabilities, Computron facts, and Office clips that make up this unique episode. That discussion got us thinking about what we’d want in a clip show of The Office, so we follow it up by going to the conference room to fantasy draft our own clips from all 9 seasons. And then of course we finish up with another trivia challenge sent by a listener! We left a copy of Best American Mystery Stories 1999 in Toby’s favorite stall, so yes, I think we bought us some time. Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!

Angela: The senator and I still have mystery. I’m always waiting to see what he’s gonna surprise me with next. [Oscar chokes on his coffee] This week we look at the love triangle between Angela, the senator, and Oscar. That dynamic spans the last few seasons of the show and plays a big role in the arcs of both Oscar and Angela as the show wraps up. We talk about all the yoga classes with Blake, picnics thrown by the comptroller’s wife (if anyone knew what a comptroller was), and sandwich deliveries for Oscar Martinez that make up that arc. And to think, it’s all because Angela and the senator shared a bale at Hay Place. Then we head to the conference room we take some listener emails, talk about David Wallace’s house going up for sale, and think about what Office locations we’d want to Airbnb in. And then of course we conclude with a signature round of trivia! Got that bimbo? Got it bimbo. Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!

Ryan: You have another job? Michael: What I do between 5:30 pm and 1 am is no one’s business but mine and my other business. Jim: Are you a cocktail waitress? What happens when you take the Dunder Mifflin staff out of the office? That’s what we’re looking at this week on the Michael Scott Podcast Company! We go through all of the characters’ second jobs and side hustles, including Michael’s time at the call center, Toby writing Chad Flenderman novels, and Creed selling fake IDs with a laminating machine that he swiped from the sheriff’s station. Then we head to the conference room to build our Office staff to start a new paper company.

“Mose is my cousin and he lives here. He will always be my best friend. Unless things go well with Ryan today, in which case I won’t hang out with Mose so much anymore.” We dedicate this week’s episode to Mose, the ping pong player, table maker, Schrute Farms valet, and cousin to Dwight. We look at the origins of the character and discuss Mike Schur, who plays him in The Office and went on to help create Parks & Recreation, Brooklyn 99, and The Good Place. Then we focus on how Mose adds to Dwight’s character and provides a unique comedic element with every appearance. In the Conference Room we take some listener questions, and then we wrap with another Ordinary Things segment.

"It is St. Patrick’s Day, and here in Scranton that is a huge deal. It is the closest that the Irish will ever get to Christmas." Erin and Andy go bragh! This week’s episode is dedicated to 'St. Patrick’s Day' from season 6, as it comes out on St. Patrick’s Day in 2021. We go through all the green M&Ms, acapella versions of ‘Cat’s in the Cradle’, and mega desks that make up this one-off holiday episode. Then we head to the conference room, have a quick ‘Ordinary Things’ segment to discuss St. Paddy’s Day traditions, and close with another round of trivia. They say that no man is an island. False! I am an island, and this island is volcanic. And it is about to erupt, with the molten-hot lava of three friends talking about The Office.   Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!

"The thing about Jim, is when he’s excited about something, like the Office Olympics, he gets really into it and he does a really great job. But the problem with Jim is that he works here, so that hardly ever happens." This week’s episode is dedicated to Big Tuna, Jim/James/Jimothy, basically Gumby with hair, Jim Halpert. We start by talking about his function in the show, how he provides exposition through talking heads and acts as an audience surrogate by breaking the fourth wall. Then we look at his professional and romantic arc, followed his relationships with Pam, Michael, Dwight, and corporate. And of course we highlight all the teapot notes, Dwight pranks, arrogance/smudgeness, and looks to the camera along the way. After that, we go to our Ordinary Things segment, where we discuss times we were too early for something, like Michael interviewing at corporate, and then we close with a quick round of trivia.

“Every so often, Jim dies of boredom. I think today it was the expense reports that did him in. And our deal is that it’s up to me to revive him.” How do you escape the doldrums and ennui of the office? If you’re Michael Scott and Dwight go to sign the papers on the condo where your grandkids will someday learn to walk. If you’re Jim and Pam, you host the inaugural Office Olympics. We dedicate our episode to this episode, discussing all of the cathedral ceilings, flonkerton races, and carpenter ants that make up this epsiode. In the conference room this week we talk about Brian Baumgartner’s new podcast that compiles the interviews from An Oral History of The Office, have a quick ‘Actually’ moment, and react to John Krasinski’s SNL Office theme.

“You see, I sit across from a man, I see his face, I see his eyes. Now, does it matter if he wants a hundred dollars of paper, or a hundred million dollars of deep-sea drilling equipment? Don’t be a fool. He wants respect, he wants love, he wants to be younger, he wants to be attractive. There is no such thing as a product. Don’t ever think there is. There is only sex. Everything is sex. You understand that what I’m telling you is a universal truth, Toby.” He’s the CEO, he’s Bob Kazamakis, he’s the f*cking Lizard King. We dedicate this episode to Robert California, one of the most unique characters in The Office and a defining figure of season 8. We go through all the pool parties, one-man saturnalias, and nature metaphors that comprise Robert’s time on the show. The man speaks of nothing but sex! Well, that’s not true, sometimes he talks about flesh…and bacchanals. After that we head to the conference room for a new segment where we correct errors on the show.

"The people that you work with, are just, when you get down to it, your very best friends. They say, on your deathbed, you never wish you spent more time at the office. But I will. Gotta be a lot better than a deathbed." We focus on Michael in season 7, highlighting his personal growth, his relationship with Holly, and that herpes scare that ended up being an ingrown hair.

Very cool, very Will Smith-esque, who would not like it if he helped his hero.” This week’s episode covers the brief but impactful arc of Charles Minor on Dunder Mifflin Scranton We look at how his friction with Michael, his parking lot soccer games, and company picnic volleyball spikes. And yes, we’re of the effect he has on women. After that we meet in the conference room to discuss first impressions of The Office on Peacock and close with some listener-submitted trivia.

But sometimes your best friends start coming into work late, and start having dentist appointments that aren’t dentist appointments.

"Everybody, I want you to look at Holly right now, and maybe if you look at her deeply enough, you will see what I see in her. And that is that we are all very lucky to have her here.

“Listen, Stanley, how long does it take to pick out a soda? Still deciding? Peach iced tea. You’re gonna hate it.” Grab a snack, buy a drink, and look out for notes Michael put in your food, this week is all about the break room. We go through all of the lunchtime gossip, John Denver covers, secret conversations, and that time Stanley yelled at Ryan (“Boy have you lost your mind?

“You know what, Michael? Let me stop you right there. And leave." WIth that line, Billy Merchant deals with Michael Scott about as effectively as anyone in The Office. And then he correctly diagnoses Dwight’s concussion.

“Everyone, okay? Uh, I have an announcement. Apparently, in business school, they don’t teach you how to operate a toaster oven. Because some smart, sexy temp left his cheese pita on oven instead of timing it for the toaster thing!” Ryan started the fire, just like The Office started our podcast, it was always burning since the world’s been turning. We focus on ’The Fire’ from Season 2, looking at the best moments, the character snapshots of our favorite staff members, and everyone’s desert island movies.

We take a look at Deangelo’s time on The Office, spanning with his training from Michael, his dramatic slam dunk exit, and his brief return in a hospital gown. We look at his best moments and his effect on the other characters before discussing whether he could have had a longer run on the show.
